Two Estevan wakeboarders added to their impressive resumes on the national stage recently.

Sage Dayman and Taylor Johnson both earned a pair of medals at the Canadian Wakeboard Championship in Bala, Ont., from Aug. 22-25.

Dayman won gold in two events, taking top spot in the boys division (for ages 10-13) with a score of 87.33, and in the boys features division.

The first event sees the competitors perform stunts behind a boat, while the other has them on a cable system hitting jumps and rails.

For Dayman, it was a successful follow-up to the 2012 nationals, where he won the junior boys division and took bronze in the amateur wakeskate.

The two gold medals wrapped up a strong year for Dayman, who has landed many new inverts and spins in 2013, including a 540.

Johnson, meanwhile, entered the event coming off three straight junior girls national titles. This year, she moved up to the women's amateur division, where she won silver with a score of 60.67. She also earned a bronze in the women's open division, scoring 70.67.
